Welcome to all of you that may visit this blog site and are encouraged. Please read the Bible and believe God's word. Today 14 March I want to recap some of the highlights rom our reading of the New Testament Books of Matthew, Mark and Luke starting back at 1 March.

Looking for God's attributes, traits, names, promises, and warnings  in the New Testament that have been demonstrated in the Old Testament is a good work. I hope you will use the One Year Bible available at the blog site and develop a sense of unity and connectivity as you read that God is the author of the entire Bible.

Mark 10:13- was led to pen that even young children need to hear the word of God. Pay attention to verse 10:15 and do not misunderstand the truth, it is saying that we, even as adults,  must believe the Bible Truth as a young child, trusting and eager to be taught.  Continue to read this chapter and see how it fits your personal status as a believer or not.  Read, believe, trust and respond to God today.

Read Mark 11 and be amazed at the demonstrated  foreknowledge of Jesus in this chapter concerning a multitude of events and circumstances, do you see his Omniscience? Pay attention about your prayer life and learn the lesson about faith, forgiveness and obedience. We need to Get right so to be right, read the Bible to know right, obey the leadership of the Holy Spirit to do right and by The Lord's presence we don't quit.

Perhaps it will be good for you to pause and look at Matthew 25:31-26:13, dated 8 February, and read to see how Jesus is portrayed as Prophet, Priest and King. Attend to his warnings and predictions about the service of men unto God. Look for the attributes of Omnipresence, Omnipotent, Holy, True, Just and triune. There is nothing hid from God. All sins will be accounted for either by the forgiveness unto salvation according to the gospel or punishable unto eternal hell from unbelief.

In Mark 13, 6 March, we are able to see the wisdom of Jesus' words for his disciples to prepare them for his upcoming trial, crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, appearances and ascension into heaven.  The warning for his disciples that apply to us today is given at verse 6 concerning false christs.  You may know the true from the false by reading and believing the word of God as recorded in the KJV Bible.

Mark 14:1-72 and Matthew 26:47-75 & 27:1-66 are records of the plans of men to kill Jesus. It is good to read these again so that we not forget how much God so loved the world. God is not willing that any perish. Consider John 1:1-14 and relook verse 9 to see that every man born of woman has the potential to be saved.  Jesus first sermon in Matthew 4:17 dealt with repentance. In Matthew 5 are the  details involved in living in obedience to Jesus' teachings  that apply to us today.

As we begin Luke's account of The miracles relating to the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus
we need to read slowly so as to appreciate The LORD. Note the Trinity's presence and develop a respect and fear of God. There is nothing too hard for God. Let this chapter serve as a launching pad for your search for God's attributes and names.

 Attend unto the upcoming warnings about ignorance and disobedience. APPRECIATE THE GOSPEL. Hear the Truth, believe the Truth, act upon the Truth, Jesus saves. Read John 3:1-16. I hope to see you in heaven one day, perhaps today.

Read my personal testimony on how God used the Word of God to convict me and then to forgive and save me.  Jesus said at John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This is for you.
